strawberry cultivation

Strawberry cultivation involves selecting suitable land, typically well-drained and rich in organic matter, and planting young plants called runners or seedlings. These plants need adequate sunlight, water, and air circulation to thrive. Farmers prepare the soil, often adding compost or fertilizers to enhance fertility. Maintaining proper weed and pest control is essential. Strawberries are usually grown in beds or containers to optimize growth. Harvesting occurs when the berries turn bright red and fully ripened. Proper care and timing ensure healthy plants and a bountiful harvest, making strawberries a popular and rewarding crop for growers.
